If everything digests well, then that’s great. If it were me though I would have cyclic dextrin in place of dextrose and add some salt.

Post workout I would have cream of rice, whey and banana, and possibly a little dark chocolate.

Meal 3 I would have sourdough toast, whole eggs and avocado.

Meals 4, 5 and 6 look good.

Thanks Clar, everything in meals and water has pink salt in it or on it.

What’s the thinking behind meal 3 change up out of interest?

Also I thought fats post workout was a no no?[/quote]

For me this post workout meal would simply sit and digest easier. Also considering all you’re having pre training is carb powder, followed by a hard training session you may risk a hypo by just having another load of simple sugars, so adding a very small amount of fats could minimise this.

Meal 3 needs more protein, hence the suggestion here.

Today I did a hyrox session with a friend at her gym. It was super tough, but really good fun! It was nice to switch things up and get the heart pumping.

We then grabbed some lunch together afterwards and had a catch up. This afternoon I’ve just been getting some jobs done around the house and doing a bit of course work.

As basic staples I would have Creatine, Magnesium, Cure-coming, D3&k2 and Oh Mega Pharma Pro. Anything on top of that would depend on your individual needs or shortfalls in diet, and whether or not you’re assisted.

Today is a rest day. I did a lovely long run this morning, then went into our local town this afternoon for a coffee and bit of shopping. My husband is still at home recovering, so we’ll likely just watch a film together this evening.

ARA 290, thymosin alpha-1 and AOD-9604 have shown promising results in recent preclinical and clinical studies in subjects with arthritis.

I got a really good leg session in this morning, then it was back home to get a bit of work and course study done. My husband is still dosed up on pain relief, but is managing to do more for himself today. I really hope these shoulder ops will eventually get rid of some of the daily pain he’s had to live with over the last few months. He already has constant back pain from past injuries and operations, as well as other issues he’s had to deal with over the years from a career in the military, so to see at least some of that ease will be amazing for him.

My husband’s pain is much more manageable today, although I’ll still need to be around as and when throughout the day to help him do things until he gets more strength and mobility in his arm. He’s also just got an appointment through to start the process to get an operation on his other shoulder, as both were damaged, so it looks like as soon as this one is healed, we’ll have to go through this all again.

Anyway; I got out to the gym this morning for a quick upper session, then back home to get on with my work and course study.

Positive wishes for your husband! Take it easy both of you.[/quote]

Thanks Damian. I appreciate that 🙂

From what you’ve explained about your diet and supplementation, this isn’t surprising.

You are having a lot of simple carbs around training and then pretty much eating protein only, with minimal fibre or fat. If you want to stabilise your blood sugar levels, then add some more slower digesting carbs or add a little fat and/or more fibre.

I’d take them with 3 meals a day, 1,3 and 5. Take them just before each meal.

My husband’s operation went well, but as the pain relief wore off through the night he was in a lot of pain, so we had quite a disrupted sleep and I wanted to make sure I was around to help in this morning, so cancelled my yoga session. I’ve been at home with him all day just doing some computer work and plan to do an online yoga session later when he’s settled and doesn’t need me!

I think this will highly depend on your circumstances, your general health, whether you’re assisted or not, how often/if you compete. Every 3 months is reasonable for most to monitor.

It was an early start for me today as I took my husband into hospital for his operation this morning. I took the day off training as I want to be on hand and ready to go back in when he needs me, so I’ve been pottering around the house, getting some jobs done and getting stuck into some work and course revising.
